I am fairly new to hf. I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed the 7.200. it's definitely not what I expected to hear. Thanks for the demonstration with both the radios and antennas
The thing you got to remember is as long as you can keep them coralled on a certain frequency we"ll be all right. The LIDS are going to always be there no matter what on CB or HAM
The vertical is going to have a lower signal to noise ratio because the vast majority of RF transmitters use vertical antennas which are vertically polarized and HF horizontally polarized. Therefore, you are going to get more RFI. Extensive antenna research by RF engineers have demonstrated slightly more efficiency with resonant antennas simply because you are eliminating the ATU and balun that dissipate some of the RF because of higher VSWR that winds up being dissipated as heat in these in line devices.

might be useful to compare similar antennas...non vs resonant verticals, dipole to compare to bazooka, but fun nonetheless. Did you test to see which antenna sends best DX?
Nice setup ; just a question, 2 different rigs, do they have the same smeter ? I guess it would have been better to use one radio and a switch for 2 antennas. Other than that good test. Some people seek attention and get it unfortunately; better to ignore them in case they give it up earlier. As sb asked: where is the FCC?
So have you considered one is a vertical, possibly picking up more man-made noise and the other is more horizontally polarized (even with the sloper config). Robert KD4YDC
When I was playing around before the video I found it was about 1 s-unit of difference but because of background noise being in a city it was better on for clarity
It doesn't really matter what I think, but a bit apples to oranges.. 2 different antenna types, with 2 different feed lines, and 2 different model radio's, though same manufacturer. Still, thanks for sharing as I enjoy tests like these.

Great vids! I bought a 710 but havnt taken my general yet. Will soon.
Nice looking Setup Steve 💯👍🙋♂
Best to ignore it and not give it any fuel. Antennas, yep, I prefer resonant tuned single band, but have both and have their duty to do.. 😎

A quick comment on that!! So obviously we need no call sign to get on HF bands where is the FCC..

So it's not only picking up more noise but the signals coming in are much weaker atleast 2 or 3 s units for further away signals
It looks like you have 6db of attenuation on the FT-710. That would have an effect as well as the different antenna types.
When checked before video the 6db only a net loss of 1 s unit
Nice Video. Question: On the 710 you have a 6 DB attenuator enabled, does that affect your receive strength testing when comparing to 991A?

Were did you buy your chart that is laminated and under your mic's? Thank You
Ebay I think it was like 15$
Just CBers with more frequency and more credit card debt.

Filth on the air. Where would we be without it. 😂
You are compering a vertical vs an horizontal antenna not a resonant vs none resonant antenna.
